I'm thinking of mounting this to inside of a cabinet door. Is magnet strong enough to hold the knives securely when opening/closing the cabinet door?

Love mine! Nice tight grip. Would think hanging in a cabinet door would work.

It's quite strong for small to medium sized knives. I wouldn't try to mount a butcher knife, but everything else should be ok!

It is a magnetic strip to hold flat knives. I installed it in a dental lab to hold the dentist's tools. I would assume it will hold anything magnetic. It is sleek and attractive.

I'm sure it would work, but the knives will be hanging horizontally instead of vertically so they may rotate on you unless they are placed exactly in their weight center. The magnet is strong enough though

A stronger magnet would easily open these. Also, its not to just break or pry open if you're really determined. Also, you could only tell if it was broken into IF the cabinet or lock was damaged. Now, if you dont have handles on your cabinets(we dont) its a little trickier to get it open, but still a magnet would easily open it. Unless MAYBE they didnt know or SEE what lock you put on the inside, maybe you have a slight good chance. I'm so sorry you're having to deal with an issue like this. I will pray for you and your family.

Absolutely! You need 2 monkeys and a wench to pull them off. But seriuosly YES. You can hold the knife 1"+ from the magnet and it will pull it in strongly. 10+ stars.

Yes, keeping in mind the blades will need clearance above the magnet strip, and the handles should have space to hang down.I couldn't put mine where I wanted due to electrical lines and an outlet in the wall, but am pleased with my knives being out of drawers and off of the counters.

This magnet (2"x1"x1") is very powerful. It may be difficult to open the door on occasion. Will you need holes? No. Will it hold the door. More than likely, yes. Depending on the weight and size of the door, you may need two, but again, that depends on the size and weight of the door.

Yes, It appears to be a pretty strong magnet. I can place sideways on my fridge without it sliding off

Yes, probably can if: your door is wide enough, and enough space is between the shelves so you can close the door with the knives not hitting. It is a strong magnet so should hold the knives nicely in place.

I'm not sure it will work because the magnet is strong and when removing the knives repeatly I think it would loosen ove time.

I believe it is so long as your knives have a solid blade. One of mine is a cheese knife with a cutout center. It wouldn't have enough mass to hold on.

I have not tried to use stick it to my fridge but I don't think it will work seeing as the magnets are on the front to hold apps. I think if you stuck it to your friends with the magnets mental there will be no where to put the knives. I do not think the backside is magnetic.

No. The magnet is strong but not that strong with the sheaving on the knives.

The magnets are in the "floor" of each slot, and on mine are recessed slightly into the wood, so my knives only touch the wood. They are recessed a consistent amount on all the slots in my knife block. They're near the front so you can check with a flashlight to make sure none of them are proud of the wood when you get yours.Each magnet does hold the knife tight to the floor of the slot, so the knife does rub against the wood as you insert or remove it.

Ours is hung on the wall. I have large MAC knives and I don't think it would work if hung under a cabinet for something that heavy. If you're hanging lighter items (small knives, metal spatulas, etc) it would probably be alright. We tried to hang farberware tongs, but they kept falling off and eventually we got sick of it. There wasn't enough metal in contact with the magnets. I wouldn't hang it under a cabinet unless I were only using it for lighter items.

The magnet is very strong so the knives would probably stay on. However I wouldn't choose this method since you would be unable to see the knives and might cut yourself.

I picked it specifically because it wasn't metal like others I've seen. The wood completely encloses the magnets, so anything that hangs from it only touches wood. It seems comparable to resting a knife on a wood cutting block. The magnets create a firm pull, but they don't require a lot of force to pull knives off. By tilting or gently sliding, I find the knives are smooth in coming off.
